It will be quite hard for Platanias, since they are playing with 10 after an AEK player dive in the box and penalty that gave them the lead. Looks like it will be the big 4 in the semis.

I think the game will be sold out. The problem is that nobody will go to the Xanthi game. The other thing that pisses me off is that it will not be televised outside of Europe. Surely they could have arranged at least a Laola stream.

What happened to the other music thread (60's-90's). Kind of pointless to concentrate just on the 90's, which was nothing special IMHO.

Canas and Henrique should not be starting on Thursday. Maybe play the last 20 minutes to get into the rhythm of the game, so they can be ready for Sunday. Instead of Canas why not start Kace. I think Kace should have played against Iraklis as well instead of Charisis. I don't think Iraklis would have gotten away with their tough game with Kace in the lineup. My lineup for this game: --------------------- Brkic ---------------------- Kitsiou - Varela - Malezas - Deligiannidis -------- Kace ----------------- Shakhov ----- Campos ------- Biseswar ----- Mystakidis -------------------- Klaus ---------------------- Cimirot and Matos badly need rest. it was evident against Iraklis. Save them for Sunday. We also need to be careful and not get any red cards in this game.

I don't think there will any of the above. Olympiakos has an important cup game Thursday, and an important Europa League game next week. I think they will concentrate more on those two games. They will come to Toumba and might even do a rotation. Hopefully we can come out and force the game to them and get a win. if we approach the game like we did on Sunday against Iraklis, then we will lose.

I think Stefanidi and Papachristou will medal, and if Filipidis has a good day he might come close as well.

I expect at least two medals.

Canas is back practicing with the team. I would use him for 20 minutes to get ready for Sunday's derby.

It really does not make much difference. There is no way we could challenge for the title. There are only 8 games left and Olympiakos would not let it slip using any means possible. As for Panionios, when play-off time comes the difference will be + or - 1 point or so. The main thing is not lose ground, avoid possible injuries and be ready when play-offs come. Also place focus on the cup.

Karalis and Filipidis in pole vault Stamatogiannis in shot put Stefanidi in pole vault Spanoudaki in 60m Pesiridou in 60m hurdles Papachristou in triple jump

Only the guys from radio Arvyla could come up with something like this. Great video.

Final score 1:1 Major disappointment Poor coaching by Ivic in this one.

We now have no midfield and are being beaten to every ball by Iraklis. More likely for Iraklis tos core than us.

Almost another one

Glykos mistake

As usual.

Surprisingly we have more yellows in the game than Iraklis does.

Iraklis is counting on counters to score. Pelkas needs to become less selfish. Took a shot when he could have passed to Prijovic.

We need a second goal to be safe.

Handball but no penalty

They still did not take it down. Henrique will be subbed by Campos

Now they are making them take the sign down.

Pelkas in for Biseswar.
